Description
Seen from the angle on an Anglican parish priest, this is a call to return to the base values of vocation; which is to pray and intercede for others as we listen to God through careful reading of scripture. The ancient monastic craft of Lectio Divina is seen as a window through which God can be heard and understood and in which there should be a context for ministry. This book examines how Monastic spirituality is seen as a basis for parish ministry as well, using as it does the gifts of God in ministry and through an intellectual approach to study.
This book asserts that a regular life pattern is necessary in those circumstances, as it is in parish ministry.
